 Chapter Six:

YOUNG PEOPLE WITH

ROOTS
 Don’t allow yourselves
to be uprooted.
‘Huwag hayaan ang sarili
na mabuwal.’

Beauty is not simply appearance.

(cf. c.v. #183)
 Your relationship with the
elderly.
‘be open to receiving
wisdom.
There is wisdom
in the memory of the past.’
 Dreams and
visions.
‘let older people
tell their long
stories.’
 Taking risks
together.
‘let the young and
old journey
together.’
‘Roots are not anchors
chaining us to the past.
Rather they are a fixed
point from which we
grow and meet new
challenges.’
 Church is a boat which
the elderly keep on
course by judging the
position of the stars, while
the young keep rowing,
imagining what waits for
them ahead.
